I just don’t think I’ll ever catch up, and this being perpetually sick stuff doesn’t help either. I finished grading Monday at about 5:30, came home and made some dinner, and mostly laid around. Watched the Game of Thrones I’d been too sleepy to really see on Sunday. And then this morning at 7:00 a.m. realized I had been supposed to bake the bread-a-week loaf – totally forgot. Today was meeting to meeting to meeting, and lots of email – but I still didn’t quite get to all of it ….
Errands by car after work – haircut, E. Wash to get an old laptop that will display the Twitter feed at this conference I’m on the planning committee of, that starts tomorrow, and goes to noon Thursday, groceries – just a few because Thursday I am off to Seattle for Dave & Jen’s 25th – I think it’s gonna be at this place, which looks pretty nice. I wanted to make it a family vacation, especially because John is the same age as my brother & his wife’s marriage, but nobody else could go. John’s busy season at the school photo place where he works, graduation and proms; Al has to be at camp. I made a tiered tart for the wedding – in all the pictures baby John is being held by other people so I can bake, or by me at the rehearsal dinner where pretty much screamed nonstop. Gonna recreate some form of it for the anniversary.
Tonight for dinner I made this bought gnocchi & spinach gratin that I’ve made often before – this was a good one because I used more spinach that you’re supposed to – the whole pound I got in my first CSA box last week.
But my eyes are irritated, and my nose is stuffed and I have these needley pains in my head, even though I’m on the antibiotics that are supposed to cure the sinus infection. I think the only thing to do is go flop on the couch and make a cat come to hold me down.
